It's uncanny valley. And the robot teacher was interesting. Hearing a black man asking if anyone wants their kids taught by a 'damn robot'. The cycle of prejudice continues. [/HalfSerious-Irony] In 50 years, the robots will be saying the same about us!
Wow! that robot kid was really creepy, the dentist training robot is pretty freaky too. It's probably just because I grew up watching movies where robots try to kill people, but I wonder if I'll ever be comfortable around things like this. Do you guys think these robots are scary because they don't imitate humans well…
dont be hatin the kid robot.. its awesome.. Imagine one day your Ms wants to have children.. buy her one of those.. then when you get divorced the settlement is so much easier.. why? its a freakin robot..
In case you haven't catched this, Gizmodo has a freaky robot thread(article?) on their website. Clicky! I seriously can't decide which is the scariet of them all, but something about Simroid (dentist helper) just scares the living shit out of me. Which do you think will become the first to enslave humanity?
I didn't really think any of them were genuinely creepy except for the child robot. Holy shit! It looks like a kid in a suit :( Whats crazy is that one actually learns and everything.
